Quick summary: Teo reportedly had a girlfriend, and she died of leukemia. Guy does all this football stuff during tragedy. Inspiring. Wellllll, apparently that was all a hoax and his girlfriend apparently did not even exist.

Aka: Teo had a story about his girlfriend dying during the season, but now it appears its just a hoax.

Also, ESPN supposedly knew about this being a hoax before the BCS game.

I think that's just ESPN covering their arse cuz they, along with all the other news outlets that reported on it, got scooped by, egad, deadspin.com. The very internet the mainstream media jackholes despise so much got the drop on all of them and it kills them. I think it's hilarious cuz there's a ton of ppl on the web without the credentials and education to land jobs in the mainstream media that are just as good and often better than their perceptually more dignified counterparts at ESPN and the like.
